I emptied my epg but when I checked the tv guide, the listings, which were corrupted, were still there. The epg needed refreshing because some program times had changed & some films had been changed
I recently installed a second MVP. Ever since I have been having alot of problems. Sometime one will work fine and the other will be stuck on conecting to server. Plus it seems to goto conecting to servers alot after the movie/show is over.
When I had 1 it seemed to work great it was wifes idea to buy a second and posible third one.
I set GB-PVR to auto start 2 MVP clients.
I am running GBPVR 94.13 on stand alone machine
Windows XP home P4 2.6 GHz 768MB Ram
Linksys DSLRouter 4 port switch 100 Mbps
On Router / Switch I have DSL line, 2 MVP and 2 Computers. (1 GBPVR 1 for everday use)
Any ideas where to start?
I was watching a live tv show and I hit the record button to record the show.
I then escaped out and went to the tv guide to see if it was listed as being recorded. When I scrolled down to the freeview (DVB) channels, ITV3 and BBC3 were the only ones listed, alternating one another with no tv shows listed.
I restarted recording service and gb-pvr, when i scroll backwards (up) from BBC1 to what should be the last freeview channel, I get "Object not set to an instance of an object".
I have emptied epg and downloaded again (for pvr-350 and nova-t usb2) but this hasn't fixed the problem.
Any ideas?
(This is sooo annoying having finally got everything working perfectly for the 1st time in 2 months) :-(

I am using regular cable with sat receiver through my PVR-150. Sat channels come after 99 on cable and play fine. I move between channels using IR Blaster which sends the channel number to the Sat receiver, it is slow but it works. However, when I schedule a recording, unless the target channel is what is playing on the Sat receiver, GB-PVR will not switch to it and record. It will record whatever coming from the receiver. I have to have the receiver on all the time to record, but if I leave it on the wrong channel, the recording will not work as it would with cable channels. Is there a way around this? Especially that I cannot record programs from more than one channel unless I do a manual switch.
Let's me start by saying that GB-PVR is a great system! The first system I encountered that is worth donating money!
I am using GB-PVR as my DVD jukebox. I am using Cybelink PowerDVD for video and Audio with overlay (best setup for me). Everything works fine with live TV and recordings with regards to aspect ratio. However, when I play DVDs, some 16:9 DVDs play in 4:3 distorting the picture. F7 does not work when I am playing DVDs (I am using My Videos plugin). I have a wide screen TV and all my DVDs are wide screen. All DVDs play fine if I use PowerDVD outside GB-PVR. There does not seem to be a consistent pattern for those that do not play well (old- Antz and new- Shrek2). I am also not able to access any of PowerDVD controls within GB-PVR.
I have been using GB-PVR for few weeks, every week I discover a new jewel buried in the application, so far I have been able to fix or work around most of my issues, but not this one.
I've been using gb-pvr to record shows, and it does a wonderful job. It's been fun installing and getting all the various utilities working. I record most programs at medium and some at low quality.
I use TVersity media server to serve the recordings to my DSM-320. I just made a windows share of the recording directory and mshared it in TVersity.
Unfortunately, the DSM doesn't do well with Fast Forward, so I have been trying various combinations to have Comclean strip out the commercials for me. If I understand it correctly, it seems that the mpgtx utility is not able to cut the mpg files correctly because the pvr-250 hardware encoding results in frame breaks of less than 1 second (works too good). The result is that the commercial breaks are stripped out, but the DSM-320 gets hung up at those spots for a duration that seems to be about the length of the original commercial break (It feels longer since nothing is happening). Re-encoding the file to avi using mencoder seems to fix the problem about 50% of the time. I've played around with various parameters, but can't find a more optimal solution.
I want an automated process and don't mind that some commercials get through. Does anyone have a working solution? Suggestions?
Today version 0.77 build 58 is released.
One important added feature is the ability to use Comskip to edit the cutlist.
Drag and drop the .txt file onto comskip.exe. The debugwindow will open with black bars below the video where the commercials where detected.
Look in debugwindow.rtf for the editing commands.
It can be downloaded from http://mk.kaashoek.com/gbpvr/comskip77.zip
I have a newly set up system using GBPVR with a PVR150 and an MVP. Everything has been working well until last night when....
GBPVR woke my machine and recorded one show for an hour (Alias). This recording has no audio. GBPVR also recorded the next show on the same channel (Night Stalker). This recording has audio.
It seems the audio wasn't captured on the first recording. I suspect the wake from standby caused a problem? How can I determine if there actually is any audio in the file? And how do I prevent this from reoccuring?
Won't help the WAF if I have to read their lips. :o
